It really depends on your budget. If you've got close to a million to spend.
Country Coach on a Prevost chassis, or Marathon Coach, again on a Prevost
chassis.

In the range from 350,000 to 600,000 or so, Country Coach.

Below 350,000 Winnebago.

Lots of folks like Monaco, I don't, based on experience of friends who have
spent weeks of every summer at the factory getting repairs done. I mean the
same people there, every year.

Is there a special license needed for an RV?

As far as I know, only in CA and TX and those depend on, in the case of CA,
over 40 feet, and TX over, I think, 26,000 GVWR. There may be others, but
I'm not aware of them.

The special license is needed only if you are a resident of that state, or
license in that state.

Strongly recommend:
http://www.rv.org/readcd.html

before going any further with this.  I read his book from the library and it
was very revealing, especially about Class As.  He has been in the business
for 30 years or so, and takes no prisoners <G>  He says he is unpopular
because his big thing is safety, and he has unkind things to say about some
very expensive Class As.   eg, did you know that many Class As have no front
bumper?  They have no such thing as a five mph no- damage thing like your
car.   They are pretty to look at, but totally flimsy except for some.
Class As are notorious for "disintegrating " in highway accidents.  They are
not a bus.  ( A converted bus RV is still a "real vehicle")  Another big
thing was "balance" where they put the weighty items in the wrong spots and
made the whole thing unstable in some models.  Plus the usual horror shows
of shoddy workmanship.

Sounds like you have lots of money you are anxious to spend and I'm sure
there are lots of dealers anxious to have it.  Before you lose it,  if you
invest in the above, I think you will be glad you did.  You can then have
confidence that you aren't being  taken to the cleaners for a POS RV.

Barry

Allow me to add that JD Gallant (RVCG) is opinionated and not always
right - that said, he's the ONLY credible source of reasonably
unbiased rv buying advice.

If he's truly "opinionated," then he cannot provide "unbiased rv buying
advice."

It happens that there is a thread  running on this very thing:
http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/16760051.cfm

showing the range of reactions to the ratings by a small sample of Class A
owners.

Sort of related topic--I wonder how the builders handle things when filling
a "custom" order?  The customer is unlikely to know much about weight
distribution, etc.  Does the builder tell him he can't have what he wants or
just build the thing?

Somehow, I cannot see myself helping this nitwit unless it was to help push

Is this the best you can do?  Obscenities?  I have many US friends, but at
the rate you are going into debt you will soon be one of the Third World
nations. I really don't look forward to that though. You really cannot
afford to be the Super Power you would like to be. That's what happened to
The U.S.S.R. some years ago. Other Countries are paying off their Debt, not
increasing it.

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/faq.html
Canada does not count on "Dear old Uncle Sam" We really have no need for the
USA. That's just a figment of your imagination. You generate more risk than
you cure. If it wasn't for NAFTA we could sell our oil and gas and Water to
other Countries. Yes, we have many US Auto plants in Canada, but also many
Japanese Auto plants also. Just because we do not want to go to war, why do
you look down on us? You really need our Water, Oil and Gas. If you do not
have access to it, China and India will soon surpass you. Then why are you
so hard nosed? You are our biggest trading partner, but remember that goes
both ways. You really need a dose of humility, and unfortunately it's coming
fast. Just think....What Countries now support you?

I don't know whom you are talking to as your post is in direct response to
mine; I simply reposted what the charmer Wayne posted earlier.

As for your rant we are well aware of the problems you cite, how else could
we explain our desperate attempt to steal the Iraqis oil. And right now, we
are essentially stuck with a blithering idiot for the next 3 years; however,
change will come just in time when we will be able to exchange our dollar
for Mexican pesos at par.

A frightening, if not altogether implausible, thought.  Today it is
about 11 pesos to the dollar.

Right now, an unfortunate village in Texas is missing its idiot.  And we
are going broke.

Just how much oil have we stolen from the Iraqis?  You Bush haters
should really make at least some attempt to pose a logical and
factually based comment.

The same libs that accuse us of stealing oil are the same low IQ
people that blame Bush for not lowering the price of oil??  Of course,
the President has little or no control over commodity pricing.

Now let me get this straight within the last little while you claimed to be
a Physicist and Attorney at law and you miss a key word like attempt. The
problem when you are brainwashed is that you loose your ability to think on
your own. BTW, the cancelled check from the few barrels out of the 6 million
prewar exports that did make it out of Iraq would suffice.

What is our "attempt"?  Do you mean our liberation of the Iraqi
peoples?  If we wanted to take their oil, what would stop us?  The
Iraqi military that you libs claim have not been trained so they
couldn't stop us if they tried?  You make no sense logically.

BTW, I believe the word is 'lose' not 'loose'.  

Then, what 'cancelled check'?  I haven't a clue what you are talking
about.

But then, I don't believe you do either.

If you do not have to prove yourself, what is it with the bragging about
your credentials,  is it supposed to enhance more credibility, OTOH if said
you where a certified a.shole I would take your word looser.

Herald, Herald!  You challenge me and when I respond you complain
further.  Oh well, no satisfying some children.

I am not sure what, "is it supposed to enhance more credibility"
means.    Continuing, shouldn't the word 'where' be 'were'? And for
proper grammar and construction, shouldn't there be a comma after the
word "word"?  And you are still too stupid to spell 'loser' correctly.
'Looser' more properly describes your bowels.

I know, I know... you are making yourself understood and, in today's
world of outcome based education you would garner a C-.  Or are you
just a drunk?

Go through life as an illiterate bozo and keep the smile.
